Adobe Reader-Printing 2 PDF Pages On One

Hi - I am using Adobe Reader version 9 in Windows Vista. I am trying to combine two pdf pages into one page via a pdf printer. The pages are small enough that two can fit on one page. I can get two onto one page but each of the pages is smaller than I want them to be. Is there any way to make the output larger? I would like each of the pages to print larger and there to be less white space. Thanks!

You can not do those tasks with Reader. Reader is a view program only, though some filling of forms and such is possible. To edit a PDF, you have to purchase Acrobat.
If I have misunderstood your question it may be that I use Acrobat and not Reader. In that case, ask your question in the Reader forum (link at the top of this forum).

I can no longer type in unlimited information on my adobe reader in pdf. At one time this was an option, it would give you an icon that would allow you to type in more information. This is no longer an option. What happen?

That is not an option of Adobe Reader, but the way a PDF is created.

Adobe Reader Printing first page miniature - rest fine

Hi,
Currently running Reader 11.0.07 and am having a printing issue similar to the below known issue in Reader X.
"Xerox printers shrink page content to 1/10 or 1/20 of the original size, and print the content in the upper left part of the paper. This behavior occurs when both of these options are selected in the Print dialog box: Choose Paper Source By PDF Page Size and Use Custom Paper Size When Needed. [2392553]"
Is there any timeline for the issue to be resolved?
Cheers

Hi,
Additionally the driver being used is a KM C360 PS 3.6.0.0 and the Postscript pass through mode is enabled.
When testing and disabling the pass through mode of the driver being used (XC, FX, Lemark ....) the first page (also including mixed paper size) is rendered correctly for the entire document output.
Looking at the PS generated output for the KM driver in pass through mode has a difference between the prescript for the first page and any others following:
Example - First page A4 size generates the following.
%%BeginPageSetup
/ovlsetup [ 72 600 V 0 0 -72 600 V 12 830 ] def
/tabsetup [ 72 600 V 0 0 -72 600 V 0 841 ] def
/DeviceRGB dup setcolorspace /colspABC exch def

Whereas the next page and subsequence pages follows:
%%BeginPageSetup
/ovlsetup [ 72 600 V 0 0 -72 600 V 12 830 ] def
/tabsetup [ 72 600 V 0 0 -72 600 V 0 841 ] def

%%EndPageSetup
Note that the concat override is not specified (including matrix).
Removing this line "[1 0 0 -1 0 842 ]ct" allows the document to correctly render in the correct orientation but the scale and transform are not specified corectly.
Page 2 shows that an additional difference is made by Reader in pass through mode:
8.33333 8.33333 scale
-12 -12 translate
If replacing the first page prescript (above) with the following PS code the job correctly (Page 1):
%%BeginPageSetup
/ovlsetup [ 72 600 V 0 0 -72 600 V 12 830 ] def
/tabsetup [ 72 600 V 0 0 -72 600 V 0 841 ] def

Note that the issue is only generated by the printing through a driver in pass through mode. Setting print as image is not an option as the produced spool file is to large.
Additionally, the paper size cannot be resized and must have the (above) option set during printing - any other permutations of the "Size" options during printing cause issues during printing (e.g. A3 -> A4 or mixed A4/3 -> A4).
Thanks in advance
Cheers

Oops, I forgot to NOTE: this only happens when I'm printing a pdf from online. If I'm printing from a saved file from my computer adobe reader works just fine. so it's something with the settings of adobe reader and my browser. I use chrome, always have and I'm just now experiencing issues these past couple of weeks. I'm sure it's just a simple little box to check or uncheck or something, so I'm hoping someone can steer me in the right direction.
Thanks!

Adobe Reader prints empty page

Hello community,
in the last three month every print from the Adobe Acrobat Reader ist empty or the fonts are realy big, that only one font prints on one paper. Previously this was never an problem. The pdf´s are most in the format "A4". The PDF must rather fit on the paper without any options. If we set the option (in german) "Benutzerdefinieter Maßstab" at 100 %, the print ist ok.
We print on Samsung printers with the last PCL 6 Driver. The Option "Benutzerdefinierter Maßstab" at 100 % did not save every time. Out user must set this option every time new.
Has everyone an idea to fix this problem?

This really should be in the Adobe Reader for Mac forum instead of the iOS forum. I did a google search on the topic and the problem seems to appear for PDF's that have been altered during transfer. For example, if a PDF is incorrectly downloaded from FTP as ascii, or if the PDF was altered by your firewall. Have you tried a PDF that you have downloaded from the web like the IRS tax tables? http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040tt.pdf
Please let me know if this helps. If not, I will move it to a forum that might be better able to help!

Adobe Reader prints tiny pages

Hi folks. I don't know if I am in the right forum, but here goes:
I have a MacBook Pro mid-2009 that is running Snow Leopard. Since I bought the laptop, I have been unable to correctly print pdf files using Adobe Reader. The document prints out centered on the page but is only roughly 3 1/4" x 5 1/4" instead of the 8x11 it is supposed to be. The document properties show up as letter sized, I have the Adobe print settings as "Actual size". The printer is set to 8 x 11 as well.
The problem is only on pdfs on this computer. Pages documents, websites, etc. all print correctly. I have the same problem on different brand printers. My other Macs will all print the pdf's correctly, so I know it isn't a printer problem.
The pdf's print correctly if I use Preview, so that makes me think it is an Adobe Reader problem. I have deleted my Reader and reinstalled but have the same problem.
Does anyone have any ideas? This is my laptop for work (as opposed to my old net-surfing model), so I really do need to be able to print pdf's. I have always gotten frustrated trying to troubleshoot this myself and given up and used another computer up to this point, but it is getting to be a nuisance.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Strange, if I set the scale at say 30%, the text is tiny, 100% full size. From your post, it seems you have done all the things you would need to do. I wonder if Adobe has an issue. Attached some screen shots, cause sometimes I'm not clear when typing.
AT 30% whole page was about 2"x2" 100% full page. Strange that it does not change size. I am running Adobe reader 11.0.01, OSX 10.6.8. Best of luck

Adobe Reader printing 4 pages, over top each other on 1 page

I created a form for my office in LiveCycle. It's 4 pages with lots of fields to input data. I extended features to Reader users, which is what my coworkers use when they fill it out. It worked fine for several months. Suddenly, the form is printing all 4 of it's pages over top of each other on 1 page.
I've printed the same file from a different computer on a different printer, and it comes out fine. I've also printed it from a different computer, to the same printer, and it comes out fine. So, therefore, I believe the problem lies with that specific machine, and/or perhaps its Reader settings. But I've gone through all the print and document settings and can't find anything that looks out of the ordinary.
Can anyone shed some light on what might be causing this? Is it a print setting, or is there a way to reset Reader's settings to default?

Print multiple pdf pages to one sheet of paper

I want to print a 70 page pdf file but don't want 70 pages.
I want 4 of the pdf pages on one sheet of paper, and I would really like to double side.
This is what I'm working with (and not having any success in getting what I want)

Hi,
That can be done easily using the Booklet feature of the printer driver.
Open the PDF in Adobe Reader, then clcik on File > Print.
Click the Properties button.
Within the Layout tab check the radio option next to Booklet, you may keep the draw borders box checked or uncheck it as you prefer.

Print multiple pages on one page in Preview?

I tried to print a PDF in OSX Lion and I was unable to find the option to print multiple pages on one Page. Instead there is an option to print multiple copies of pages on one page. Does anybody know where I can find the old option from (as in Snow Leopard, Leopard, Tiger..)? (See screenshot.)
Thanks!

Look under the "Vorschau" menu for the Layout menu, and then choose "Seiten pro Blatt."
Hope this helps.

Adobe Reader Printing Problem

I have a PC with Windows XP SP3. When I try to print a PDF document, I get the following message: "The document could not be printed. There were no pages selected to print." Of course, I had selected the pages to print.
Recently, I had many problems with Adobe Reader 10, so I removed it and reloaded Adobe 9. Today, when this printing problem appeared, I did a restore on my computer, taking it back a few months. I still have the printing problem.
Any idea what's wrong? Any idea how to fix it?

I have Acrobat Pro 9, but the feature I am using is listed under my
printers.
If I go to Print, then in the drop-down list of printers, I have PDF -
which essentially creates a new PDF document. I don't really understand
why it worked, but it did. The Print - PDF is also available to Word,
Publisher, etc.
Hope tis works.

Adobe Reader - Print Dialoge box is usable

Yesterday I was running Reader ver. 10.1.3 on a Windows 2008 x64 Terminal Server. All users Adobe Reader print dialoge boxes now open up very very large. Any visible font is perhpas 10" tall (see screenshots below). Drop down pick lists don't display text, and neither does any of the buttons (see screenshots below). As long as you just want a standard print, you can press enter to activate the defaulted print button. You can press the ESC key to exit the print dialoge form. Printing is all being done to Networked printers and I get the same screen no matter what printer is set to be the default printer.
Sometimes (rarely) the print dialoge box will display normal size, and it will display the page your going to print, but as per above, there is no text on the buttons or drop down boxes. The sample screenshot below took up my entire 1920x1080 screen and is just a small portion of the dialoge box size. I have to scroll around three screen lengths to get to the other side of the dialoge box. There is no verticle scroll bars, so I can't scroll down to the bootom of the dialoge box. Nor are there any window resize options (see last screenshot below)
Here is a closeup shot of the top LH side of the Dialoge box:
Below is a screenshot of the top RH corner (I had to scroll three window lengths to get to it):
The Word and Excel etc. Print Dialoge boxes are all working ok. I have tested different default printers with the Reader Print Dialoge box window and get the same looking screen.
The first thing I tried was to just reboot the Terminal Server (TS). I was supprised to find that I had the same problem. I tried upgrading to 10.1.4 and rebooted the TS. I still have the same problem. I see that someone else has sort of had a similar issue to mine: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4559861 But don't really see a response on how or if it was resolved.
Anyone have an idea of whats going wrong and how to fix this?
Thanks.

As mentioned above, every now and then people will see a normal sized dialoge box. Here are two examples:

Why can't adobe reader remember my page?

I have the settings set to open the last display page when I open the file and it normally works fine. But sometimes all the files in my computer will restore to the original status like it shows the first page and the font is very big. I don't know what I did and it seems to happen randomly. Can anyone tell me why this is happening? It's pretty annoying. Thanks!

(for the record)
This is a known issue with the Adobe Reader plugin on Mac OS:
*[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=811085 Bug 811085] - Can't use Adobe Reader for PDF files
Read the above bug for details (please don't comment in the bug report).
To work around this,
#disable the Adobe Reader plugin in the Firefox Tools -> Add-ons -> Plugins list
#choose another action for '''Portable Document Format (PDF)''' content types in the Firefox Preferences -> Applications list, such as "Preview in Firefox" to use the built-in PDF viewer, "Preview" application or the Adobe Reader application itself
